** New website **
It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of the new Archives Hub website <http://archiveshub.ac.uk>
The new site, search application and brand identity are the result of over a year's dedicated hard work by the Archives Hub team at Mimas and our software developer colleagues at the University of Liverpool. JISC's funding of the service over the last decade has allowed us to make our vision for the new service a reality.
** George Bernard Shaw: Man and Cameraman **
The playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an avid amateur photographer at a time when the art was developing. In his lifetime he was known as a photographer but his collection has been largely left untouched since his death in 1950. Man & Cameraman aims to give his images back to the public.
